    Does 6700K still cut it (gpu upgrade path)

    Looking at CPU usage in BG3 Act 3 it's regularly hitting 100% in the city with only 40-70% on the GPU. So at least I know that upgrading the card wont help much in that game in particular. With my 2070s seemingly only worth £140-150 now, instead of the £450 I paid for it just over 3 years ago...

    Does 6700K still cut it (gpu upgrade path)

    So 7 years ago I bought a binned 6700k and Gigabyte Gaming 7 mobo from OCuk and it has served me well over thousands of hours. I started with a 980ti and about 3 years ago upgraded that to a 2070 super. I game at 1440p ultrawide so 3840x1440. My eyesight isnt great at 58 so I'm happy at 60hz and...

    I lost about 80 hours to this while on furlough last year (PS4 pro), although I did waste a good few hours as the UI was horrid at telling you what you actually need to deliver, relying on tiny icons with no tooltips. I reckon there is at least 120 odd hours in the main game if you complete...

    What are the 30 year old plus gamers playing?

    55 yo here and totally hooked on Dyson Sphere Program. Like Factorio but in 3D and in space!

    I'm in a small majority in not enjoying 5 at all. I loved 4, burned through it and completed it. I started 5 over Xmas and I'm having to force myself to play it. There are several sections where I've got stuck and needed to go online to find out what I'm supposed to do next, particularly in the...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Agreed, but then keyboard is awful for the driving parts! Also, I know I would spend more time fiddling with the graphics instead of just enjoying the game as I am on Series X.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I'm 12 hours in and still wanting to play it every night. But it certainly is the most buggy game I've personally ever played, although it's never crashed outright on me. Just stuff floating, weird physics, subtitles and weapon cards remaining on screen etc. The AI also is brain dead.. But I...

    Hi, I was wondering whether non-first party games might be different; only joined the team this generation from PS4 :-)

    Anybody know if ALL games are cloud saved if you have Gamepass? Had some issues today and don't want to lost my 60hr save in Yakuza 7; can they be backed up to USB?

    Mine has been flawless (apart from the occaisional quick resume failure) until last night. For some reason I couldn't play anything, would just drop back to dash after a few seconds. Then it tried to update itself (insider program) and finished with the message that the update failed. This...

    Thats what I thought.. I enjoyed Doom 2016 on my PC with Keyboard and Mouse, tried Doom Eternal on the Xbox Series X and found it unbearably clunky. I just cannot move quickly enough and if I increase sensitivity to improve turn speed, then I can't position the cursor for aiming. I couldn't get...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    How did you trigger the preload? I assume the standard button just says BUY?

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Any idea based on earlier Xbox titles whether console owners can preload this before receiving the physical disk in the post? Given the disk only contains the license these days I dont see why it shouldn't be possible.

    Just to show all opinions are valid, I prefer the new controller to me Elite Series 1. The buttons on the Elite are not as reliable as those on the new controller and I find the triggers more comfortable. Playing Yakuza 7 I find I can hit the QT event more consitantly on the new controller and...

    Maybe I've just looked at too many reviews for different sets, but I was fed up of reading text in brackets saying this or that isn't supported on the 49" versions. If the CX definitely includes it on the 48" for then I guess it's time to start saving.

    *** Xbox Series X|S - General Discussion Thread ***

    I was under the impression that even the CX lacked either VRR or 120hz at 48", I've read conflicting specs online and it's difficult to know which reviews are correct when they mostly review the big screen versions.

    Sounds like PS5 buyers tried to use the glitch a lot of us used at Currys this morning. Many were able to order early. Currys have now cancelled all PS5 orders from today for both glitch and genuine buyers...

    Can anybody help me with sub 50" TVs that have VRR please? It seems that manufacturers don't included features like 120hz and VRR on the smaller versions of their sets, even if the 55" has it. I simply cannot fit anything bigger than about 49" in (ooooer!).

    I see the PS5 thread is page after page of discussions about tracking numbers and courier choices today. Been there, done that etc.. :)

    Did any Currys people get a receipt or invoice of any kind? On their website my order is archived so I can only see the number now and it occurs I've got nothing on paper in case of a warranty issue..
